Preferred Names: Rab family GTPase YPT1

NP_116615.1

Rab family GTPase; involved in the ER-to-Golgi step of the secretory pathway; complex formation with the Rab escort protein Mrs6p is required for prenylation of Ypt1p by type II protein geranylgeranyltransferase (Bet2p-Bet4p); binds to unspliced HAC1 mRNA; regulates the unfolded protein response (UPR) by promoting the decay of HAC1 RNA; localizes to the early Golgi, the transitional Golgi and ER membranes, pre-autophagosomal structures, and cytoplasmic vesicles
